Have you heard the Doctor Who theme song before?

Have you heard it on the Tesla Coil?

No?

Well, here you go.

The familiar theme was performed by the band/mad scientist cabal ArcAttack at Chattacon 34 in Chattanooga, Tennessee earlier this year, utilizing a unique set up of their own creation.

Now, I don't know exactly how it all works, but the team explains on their website:

QuoteArcAttack employs a unique DJ set up of their own creation (an HVDJ set up) to generate an 'electrifying' audio visual performance. The HVDJ pumps music through a PA System while two specially designed DRSSTC's (Dual-Resonant Solid State Tesla Coils) act as separate synchronized instruments.

These high tech machines produce an electrical arc similar to a continuous lightning bolt which put out a crisply distorted square wave sound reminiscent of the early days of synthesizers. The music consists of original highly dance-able electronic compositions that sometimes incorporates themes or dub of popular songs.

In short:

Music + Science + Tesla = The single most horrifyingly awesome musical instrument ever!

Woah! Awesome! You could see the electricity beaming off of the Tesla Coils after the song was over.

Don't get too close, you'll ruin the song!

Tesla was a mad, brilliant genius who's work is still not understood even though he died in '43...

As weirdly creative as he was I think he'd be smiling right now knowing that someone is using one of his more minor creations to play sci-fi music to a lightning accompaniment...   :)

And I've always loved the Imperial March...  very striking piece.

I find that if I don't have a signature, some people disregard the last couple of lines of a long post.
